Vickie, I can vouch for the camp site being a great place. It is really pretty with lots of trees. However, I don't know if you will be able to book it for the summer. Call early, for it stays really busy during the summer months. Good luck, Janice Mauldin Castleman

Hi Bob, Our family is looking for a place to have a family reunion this summer. Waxahachie was suggested. What we need is a place that could provide us with, beds for about75 to 100 people, we prefer our own kitchen and a gathering place bid enough for everyone to sit and visit. We have used several church camps in the past and they work out really well. Do you have any suggestions of something of that nature in the area? Vickie

Is there someone on the list that might can give me a little local information from Waxahachie please. It may be how to spell it right. Vickie Neill Taylor

Vickie The only place with that kind of facilities in this area is at the Salvation Army Camp about half way between Waxahachie and Midlothian on FM road 875. You might contact them. I know some of the churches in this area use their facilities. I have no idea of the cost. The phone number is 972-723-2387. Thier fax number is 972-723-3124. The name of the camp is Camp Hoblitzelle. Hope this helps. Bob

Vickie Give me a try and I will see if I can help you. Bob Fitch

My Thanks goes out to all the wonderful people on this list that helped me look for the cemetery that my gr-gr-grandmother Frances A. Stephens is buried at. A wonderful lady named Susie on this list had found her listed as a "Stevens" instead of "Stephens" to be buried in the Bell Chapel Cemetery in Rockett just outside of Red Oak.

Larry Peacock (a descendant) has emailed me informing me that there is going to be a story on the Lee-Peacock Feud on WFAA - Channel 8 on 1/6 (part 1) and 1/7 (part 2) at 10PM. The Lee-Peacock feud took place in "Four Corners" (Collin, Fannin, Hunt, Grayson Counties) during the latter 1800's. Many Boren's were involved. I'll tell ya what's funny about the Lee-Peacock feud, is that there are still many people interested and many different stories...still hangin' around. I love family history, don't you? I have a website regarding the feud at: http://www.geocities.com/dmaddox1/feud.html Also there is more about the feud on the Fannin County Page (by Susan Hawkins) at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/feud.html Denise Maddox

Austin, I will see what I can find on the 1880 soundex when I get back over to the FHC, in Mesa. But it will have to be after the kids (grand children) go back to school on the 3rd. Sure cant take them with me. So if you don't get your info before I can look it up I will send it late next week. (If all is working ok!) Dian

Billy, evendently the information on the LDS site was WRONG. I just recived an e-mail from another Latham researcher and she said that Enoch Latham was born in Randolph Co., N.C. and that William Latham was born in Tn. Thanks anyway.
